PREFACE. 

The  collection  of  "Materials"  here  offered  is  the  direct 
result  of  class-room  experience  and  experiment. 

In  selecting  stories  that  were  to  form  the  basis  of  con- 
versation between  teacher  and  pupil,  it  was  felt  that  they 
should  in  the  first  place  be  interesting  in  themselves.  They 
should  also  readily  lend  themselves  to  reproduction  on  the 
part  of  the  pupil,  and  the  vocabulary  should  be  representa- 
tive of  the  real  —  the  pupil's  own  —  world,  rather  than 
that  of  thought  and  feeling.  These  considerations  have 
determined  both  the  character  of  the  selections  and  their 
individual  treatment.  Description  and  all  detailed  setting 
have  therefore  been  eliminated  in  favor  of  action  and  in- 
cident. The  editor  has  also  aimed  at  introducing  the 
pupil  to  only  a  limited  German  vocabulary.  In  accordance 
with  this  principle  important  words  and  phrases  once  used, 
have  been  repeated  in  subsequent  selections,  as  well  as  in 
different  portions  of  the  same  selection.  Intensiveness,  not 
extensiveness  of  knowledge  has  been  the  goal.  Only  by 
such  steps  can  the  pupil  gain  a  sure  footing  and  develop  an 
accurate  feeling  for  a  foreign  language. 

The  questions  appended  to  each  story  do  not  lay  claim 
to  exhaustiveness.  They  have  been  so  framed  that  the 
answers  can  be  constructed  by  the  student  without  aid, 
other  than  that  derived  from  text,  notes  and  vocabulary. 
While  the  later  selections  are  covered  somewhat  less  fully, 
the  answers  to  the  questions  will  as  a  rule  completely  re*

IV  PREFACE, 

construct  the  original  story.  To  what  extent  these  ques- 
tions are  to  be  actually  used  in  class  must  be  left  to  the 
discretion  and  judgment  of  the  teacher.  They  will  at  any 
rate  subserve  the  purpose  of  enabling  the  student  to  pre- 
pare himself  properly  for  the  class-work,  which  aims  at 
building  up  the  story  anew.  Where  a  pupil  is  able  to  tell 
a  story  without  being  prompted  by  means  of  questions,  he 
should  do  so,  and  the  questions,  not  now  asked  in  the 
regular  rotation,  can  then  serve  the  further  purposes  of 
accustoming  the  pupil's  ear  to  the  spoken  language  and 
of  securing  greater  fluency  and  readiness  in  his  use  of 
German. 

The  notes  aim  to  be  brief.  They  comprise  more  particu- 
larly:  I.  Observations  on  the  use  of  particles.  2.  Comments 
on  peculiarities  of  word-use  and  grammatical  construction. 
3.  Information,  historical  and  geographical,  required  for 
the  answers  to  questions  on  the  text. 

In  view  of  the  nature  of  the  book  as  a  collection  of  Ma- 
terials for  German  Conversation,  the  vocabulary  has  been 
prepared  with  especial  care,  and  will,  it  is  thought,  prove 
equal  to  all  demands  that  can  properly  be  made  upon  it. 
The  method  that  has  been  followed  in  its  compilation  is 
stated  in  detail  in  the  Explanations  immediately  preceding 
the  word-list. 

In  respect  to  orthography  the  Prussian  rules  have  been 
followed,  Duden's  Orthographisches  Worterbuch  serving  as 
authority  on  doubtful  points. 

The  selections  —  invariably  in  an  adapted  form,  to  agree 
with  the  purpose  of  the  collection  —  have  been  taken  from 
German  sources.  Two  exceptions  should  be  noted.  Pro- 
fessor Thomas  has  kindly  permitted  me  to  use  a  story 
found  in  his  Practical  German  Grammar  (page  155),  and 


PREFACE.  V 

my  acquaintance  with  the  anecdote  from  Gerstacker  (No, 
XXXIII)  is  due  to  Buchheim's  German  Reader.  Both  of 
these  have  been  slightly  altered. 

While  the  book  has  been  prepared  primarily  for  use  in 
the  first  year  of  German  study,  the  later  and  longer  selec- 
tions will,  it  is  thought,  be  found  suitable  for  second  or 
third  year  students  who  may  stand  in  need  of  such  train- 
ing. 

It  is  my  privilege  to  thank  my  friend  Pastor  Julius  Hof- 
mann  of  Baltimore  for  his  generous  aid  in  the  preparation 
of  the  volume.  He  has  read  the  larger  part  of  both  manu- 
script and  proof,  and  his  suggestions  have  been  as  numer- 
ous as  they  were  valuable.

EXPLANATIONS. 

Accents  and  marks  of  quantity  have  been  introduced  wherever 
there  seemed  to  be  practical  need  of  them.  The  former  have  invariably 
been  placed  at  the  end  of  the  syllable  accented,  division  being  made 
in  accordance  with  the  Prussian  rules.  In  the  case  of  ck,  however, 
where  the  alphabetic  arrangement  would  have  been  disturbed  by  a  strict 
application  of  the  rule,  the  accented  form  has  been  entered  in  paren- 
theses, thus :  entdecken  {entdek' ke^i).  Here  and  there  the  position  of 
the  secondary  stress  ( ^ )  has  been  marked.  It  is  assumed  that  the 
pupil  is  familiar  with  the  elementary  rules  of  vowel-quantity,  as  well 
as  with  the  meaning  'of  the  signs  ss  and  sz.  Hence  short  vowels  in 
closed  syllables,  and  long  vowels  in  open  syllables,  have,  as  a  rule,  not 
been  marked.  The  vowel  ?',  where  not  marked  i,  is  to  be  regarded  as 
short.  Of  strong  verbs,  compounds  included,  the  principal  parts  have 
been  given,  the  third  person  singular  present  indicative  being  added 
wherever  this  shows  a  change  of  vowel.  Weak  verbs  are  marked  as 
such  (tt/yl*.).  Separable  and  inseparable  compounds  are  distinguished 
by  the  accent.  From  pedagogical  considerations  the  definite  article 
has  been  used  to  show  the  gender  instead  of  the  commonly  used  de- 
signations, masc.jfejn.,  neiit.,  an  exception  being  made  in  the  case  of 
proper  nouns  that  are  not  usually  associated  with  the  article.  After 
the  article  are  given  the  endings  of  the  genitive  singular  and  nominative 
plural,  a  dash  indicating  that  the  form  in  question  is  the  same  as  that 
of  the  nominative  singular.  Where  no  plural  form  is  entered,  it  is  to 
be  inferred  that  there  is  none  in  common  use.  Verbs  that  take  sein  as 
auxiliary  of  tense  are  so  designated,  all  others  take  haben.  Where  the 
comparative  and  superlative  forms  of  adjectives  show  an  umlaut  of 
the  stem-vowel,  the  comparative  has  been  added,  where  necessary  also 
the  superlative.
